For me it was two years ago. After wasting my youth on vidya, I decided it's time to quit. Uninstalled, deleted everything, unsubscribed from all the ecelebs, threw away all physical copies.
Been sober ever since. No more chasing pixel dragons for me.
Around 2012 when I'd only play Mario Kart with friends anyway

I'm playing OSRS right now. I don't do drugs, I don't hurt people, this is an acceptable vice.
Levi Lee
I still play games. Recently installed WoW because I’ve been bored with everything else on the market. The thing with all vices is keeping it under control. If you’re NEET and all you do all day is shitpost and play vidya then you should probably stop outright, but if you’re working, got a family, and you want some downtime whilst the missus watches the soaps then there’s no problem with it.

I still play games, but nothing made after 2013

Also gamergate made a Jow Forumsack and Sunny reaffirms it.
I've quit playing vidya on a daily basis pretty much when the 7th generation of video game consoles came out. The games became shit then and they are still shit today. From time to time, I still dust up my old NES or SNES and play. Gettin' pretty good at Top Gear 2 lately (beating it on championship difficulty)
Ayden Gonzalez
As soon as I reached the final year at high school, I understood that it interferes with the graduation exams preparation, so I decided to quit. It was 9 years ago, since then I didn't feel any urges to play any vidya
Joseph Lee
I only play Japanese games.
Tekken Resident Evil Onimusha Metal Gear Yakuza Final Fantasy Gran Turismo Zelda Pokémon Mario
I used to be addicted to WoW. That was my heroin. I couldn't wait to get home from work to play. From Vanilla - Wrath World of Warcraft meant everything to me. When Cataclysm hit I quit and haven't gone back since.
gaming has worn off on me gradually, but in the last few years my interest in it has dropped off a cliff with all these fucking limp dick producers fucking up the industry with there rainbow diversity bullshit and its like there not even trying anymore seriously wtf was up with fo76? they didnt even try to hide how shit tier that game was! how the fuck are people so god damn gullible to buy shit like that and accept it?
When I was around 26-27. Currently 33. It wasn't even a conscious decision where I thought "I need to stop this time wasting." I just could not get into them anymore. Depression plus just growing up I guess.
That said I spend enormous amounts of time watching youtube, and posting on leddit (just a few subs and only recently signed up) and posting/reading on here and other chans.
I don't even know what to play anymore. I want to find a new game but they all seem so boring now. The game I play most is Rainbow six siege.

And you've done nothing useful or significant since then, and when you're dead, you're still gonna be dead.

Escape from Tarkov if you like shooters
John Lopez
Right, An adult playing a child medium (infantilization) is nothing like child rape. I'll just shut up and get back to crushing pixles while the world goes to shit lmao
imagine having so little willpower that you have to completely remove everything video game related to force yourself not to waste all your time with them
Caleb Nguyen
Is it because you hate white people or you like their games?
Jose Mitchell
Tfw I maxed back in 2008. Feels bad, spent the prime of my late teens / early 20s playing that game.

I can't stop. I'm depressed and I need it.

Not too many new games catch me so I recently started playing Vampires the Masquerade Bloodlines again. Seriously considering getting Hereos of might and magic 3 as well.
Landon Bennett
This. I stopped buying western games. When it came down to either RDR2 or the yakuza HnK game I got the latter. Don't regret it one bit. Might get the new doom tho
Joshua Diaz
Nope, because rape is excessive indulgence in itself. Best way to know if someone is an actual degenerate: >impose a restriction >they get defensive and start arguing that extreme needs are normal
Grayson Ramirez
i stopped for like 6 years and now im back to retro gaming. got my ps2 modded and wii mod going through a crt so i can play all these cool retrofag games in proper quality.

True, but then again, if you do have an addiction, you'd have to cut it dry.
Joseph Smith
ill still play something as long as its competitive like sc6 or smash ultimate. but i haven't played much games in along time with those exceptions
Ian Campbell
Stopped playing actively about 7 years ago. Once a year or so I've installed a game and played it for a week or two before getting tired of it. /boomer
Carson Barnes
I got bored of them in my early twenties but I've been playing them more often lately, its nice to have a bit fun now and then.
Jack Ross
Only old games are interesting for some reason. It's not even because of nostalgia since I tend to like old games I never played.
Brandon Davis
Yeha but user you're still a piece of shit. Why do you have pictures like that saved on your computer?
Remember, this is Jow Forums. Anything other than praying, reading siege & lifting is degenerate.
David Martin
It's a you-problem. People only seek out addictions because they're not mentally healthy and are looking for things to repair that health. I believe depression is one of the most prevalent undiagnosed mental illnesses on the planet and very few treatment options for it actually work.
Stop quitting shit, just learn how to meditate and do it daily. Sit down and think about problems you have in life that you wish you didn't have, write down realistic ways you can fix it and try to obtain those goals in a fashion that's reasonable and at a pace you're comfortable with but edging into actually working to do it regularly.
It is the very foundation of behavioral manipulation to get people into the mindset of making mountains out of every little mole-hill in their life. You blow things out of proportion in your mind and as such they have a far greater amount of control over your life than you do.
Here's a tip, unhook your internet for a week and whenever you feel like using it force yourself to sit down and just think about yourself.

I just trimmed down what I play in moderation. I brought Blood Bourne and a PS4 when they came out, just yesterday was my first time beating the big spider boss.
Xavier Jackson
Every Mario game since 1996 has been a rehash of the third game. The only Nintendo fanchaise I still like is Star Fox. I’ve moved on to PC gaming.
It is not that I had to force myself to quit. I just completely lost interest because I feel like there are no games that I feel excited about or eager to play anymore.
Even though games are much more advanced and complex today, it feels like you have a lot less freedom than in the past because they baby you and moderate you and decide what you cannot do. Not to mention they have become just another agenda pushing tool in the past few years.
I think that is also one of the reasons why games, or rather mods, such as DayZ for Arma enjoyed such popularity. Even though they were buggy and incomplete and nothing impressive in terms of graphics or gameplay, they were one of the last experiences that gave the player nearly total freedom possible within the scope of the game.

i feel sad for u that u given up on games just remember that internet is still mostly white and that games are for whites and east asians, only races that should exist anyway, i do not like seeing negro even in a video game

>sm64 is an smb3 rehash wow shitposting wehraboos on /v/ and abysmal, retarded vidya opinions on Jow Forums
Kevin Turner
I said “since 1996” you fucking leaf. SM64 was the last original mario game.
I still play a few but only an hour or so a week, usually a passive game like Victoria 2 or HoI. Occasionally break out the old PS2, GC or N64, but that's about it. Same problem a lot of people had: New games just don't feel fun any more. It's just the same gameplay rehashed. I remember being excited when FPS went full 3D, GTA3, battlefield-style games emerged, and games like MGS4 and shooter/platformers like Uncharted came out. Now everything's the same. Even this "Battle Royale" phase everyone is hopping on is old if you played DayZ when it first came out.
Zachary Rivera
i only play lol enough though i have 2080 ti and ps4. sometimes cs go

Gaming today mostly sucks, it's too much like Hollywood. E3, Game Awards, it's always the same shit. In every new game they show off it's always the same strong, independent dyke with the same token niggers. The Strong Woman has become the generic space marine of the 2010's. All the games look the same and play the same, and most of them don't even play any well. Western gaming is dead. Indie has become boring as shit as well. Japan can still make good games, but even they were better before.
Jap games are generic as fuck. It just took longer to realize it.

>When did you stop playing videogames? Stopped 10 years ago, sold my collection, got girlfriends and did the normie life. 3 years ago I started again and regretted having spent my 20s chasing the vaginal jew and bending over backwards to make broken relationships work. All I got was a few std. Not worth it t b h.
oh you're out there saving the world from going to shit since you quit video games? riiiighht
Levi Turner
Honestly, anyone crying about "modern games" being shit are just lazy. Games are like books; there are many genres by many authors. Maybe don't be a good little goy and obediently wait for what the (((AAA))) companies shit out every year for 80 bucks and instead find the kinds of games you enjoy and play those.
Samuel Johnson
I never understood zoomies watching livestreams, just play the game numbnuts, we were playing games together at LAN cafe's before basic internet at home was a thing, when nobody got together anymore. Now i understand the pleasure of just sitting at home like a braindead zombie zoomer watching the world turn to shit. I finally understand their suicidal logic.
Cancer is the LITERAL lack of moderation in cell multiplication.

I think it's more off a question if you are able to balance it in your life. Video games, movies and other mindless entertainment are fine once in a while as long as set time to do the things you need to do.
